Di Indonesia, terdapat pasangan yang menikah melalui proses ta’aruf. Ta’aruf adalah proses perkenalan berdasarkan nilai agama Islam berupa adanya batasan durasi perkenalan dan interaksi antara laki-laki dan perempuan dengan tidak diperkenankan adanya kontak fisik. Proses ta’aruf juga mensyaratkan adanya mediator bagi calon pasangan untuk berkenalan. Sementara itu diketahui bahwaand religiusitas individu dan durasi mengenal pasangan sebelum menikah berhubungan dengan kepuasan pernikahan. Penelitian sebelumnya menunjukkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan kepuasan pernikahan berdasarkan tipe pasangan pada masyarakat Barat. Berdasarkan studi literatur, belum ada penelitian yang melihat perbandingan kepuasan pernikahan berdasarkan tipe pasangan dalam konteks pernikahan melalui ta’aruf.Maka penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat perbandingan kepuasan pernikahan berdasarkan tipe pasangan pada 62 individu yang menikah melalui ta’aruf. Hasil menunjukkan terdapat perbedaan kepuasan pernikahan yang signifikan antara tipe pasangan tradisional, separated, dan campuran (F = 3,569, p < 0.05, two-tailed.) Analisis data tambahan menunjukkan terdapat perbedaan kepuasan pernikahan yang signifikan antara tipe pasangan tradisional, separated, dan independen (F = 3,807, p < 0.05, two-tailed.) pada pria yang ta’aruf, sementara tidak demikian pada subjek penelitian wanita (F = 2,943, p > 0.05, two-tailed.)
